I'm standing on top of Mt. Whitney, the tallest mountain in the Continental U.S. and I have cell service. Can you imagine!
Oh, what a view. I cannot describe it. Last night Slider, NimblewellNomad and I camped at Guitar Lake. This morning around 6 am Pacific time we headed up to the summit. I called Shirley from the top at 9:15 am. I can see for miles and miles 360 deg. Also, have a good look at the Portals trail (which we did not take) and I am so glad we didn't. It looks rough.
My coordinates are: N36 deg, 30'; W118 deg,18'. I will upload photos as soon as I get into town. Plan to meet Shirley tomorrow late or early Tuesday morning at a campground near Kearsarge Pass. She will be driving up from Bakersfield where she has been staying with her new found friends from Canyon Hills Assembly of God church.
Keep hiking,
Greybeard
